I am frequently asked, "Grant, if there was one thing I could do, as a new beekeeper, what would you recommend? What one thing can I start doing that would make my beekeeping a little easier, make my hives a little more productive, and make my hobby a little more enjoyable? " My response is universal. "Raise your own locally adapted queens from the hives that excel in your area and survive under your management. " To their stunned silence and escalating apprehension, I offer, "It's not as challenging as you might think. I follow a simple, uncomplicated method of queen rearing that empowers the most timid beekeeper. With little or no experience, without purchasing a bucket of expensive, specialized equipment, even if you don't have a mentor, you can raise your own queens. You possess the power to enhance the sustainability of your hobby. " Raising your own queens is a small investment of time and energy that pays huge dividends. With the simple plan I offer in this manuscript, you have all the tools and education needed to raise your own queens. All you need to bring to this process is a willing spirit and about five minutes of your time in the bee yard.
